June 2009 SAT Writing!

<p>I still strongly believe that the old person question was no error</p>

<p>ok if u go here
[OSU</a> Department of English – where innovation and tradition meet](<a href=“http://english.osu.edu/students/undergrad/courseinfo/geccourses.cfm]OSU”>http://english.osu.edu/students/undergrad/courseinfo/geccourses.cfm)
it says</p>

<p>"The OSU English Department provides roughly thirty courses of English 367 per quarter.</p>

<p>Hmmm. The curve will probably be fair. </p>

<p>I’m really hoping to bank on an 11/12 essay, and then just… see what that gets me. I know that I got at least -3/4 on the writing. Maybe in the 700s, somewhere?</p>

<p>but the issue is more</p>

<p>do you take courses of writing</p>

<p>or do you take courses in writing</p>

<p>or are both viable options</p>

<p>i wish the correct answer was “courses of writing” but I just don’t logically see why CB would stump us with something that obviously DOES have a better alternative.</p>

<p>^but if Ohio State’s website uses it, y can’t we?</p>

<p>Monoclide - sounds like you were in the 700s. On the March SAT I got -3 and 10 essay, which was a 730.</p>

<p>Maybe that is the problem. It’s Ohio.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’d be awesome! I didn’t have a conclusion, I ran out of room. But my three paragraphs were solid. And I definitely backed my thesis. I just want 600 on each section. Not shooting for stars. Just reasonable reaches.</p>

<p>just look at it this way: “course” is basically “class,” right?</p>

<p>So, can you take a “class of writing” or a “class of history”?</p>

<p>btw, is it possible to have -1 and get an 80 on MC?</p>

<p>If the test is really, really, really hard, then yes. But I don’t think it’s applicable on this one.</p>

<p>Lol all this controversy over something I didnt even notice when I was taking the test…o well I hope its No error. Btw if you miss 1 on the test and get an 11/12 on essay is that still an 800</p>

<p>lol yeah i didn’t even notice this freakin question!</p>

<p>well i already have -1 for the piercing teeth question</p>

<p>i hope i got a 12 on this essay, but knowing how random graders are, its uncertain</p>

<p>i’m not sure about the old people question</p>

<p>i’m happy that the experimental was the impossible writing section</p>

<p>what was the answer to the piercing teeth question?</p>

<p>^I thought it was confirmed that “one of” was the wrong part of the sentence/correct answer? That’s what I put.</p>

<p>Edit: Not sure though, because conversationally, “mountain lions are one of…” sounds entirely correct. But “one” is singular and “lions” are plural.</p>

<p>yeah I put “one of” but I am not sure</p>

<p>i think one of is correct </p>

<p>You can say</p>

<p>They are one of the greatest band ever</p>

<p>one of can’t be used to describe a plural thing. It should have been “mountain lions are SOME of”</p>

<p>btw, does anyone know what one wrong MC was for the May test? (without essay score)</p>

<p>old man - no error
lions - one of (should be some of)</p>

<p>here is a question for ya</p>

<p>it was like something about Rome
when it was a Republic and after it became an empire
something like that
was that experimental or what</p>
